Buy a 6.5 foot oar from NRS and drill your oar pivot hole. For $118 it is a no brainer, you get the length, although not carbon they are far superior to the aluminum ones that come with the boat. Sawyer makes them probably what the Scaddens were based off of. http://www.nrsweb.com/shop/product.asp?pfid=1330&deptid=2186
Heh... actually, I did exactly that yesterday, and in true NRS fashion they are already on their way to me: http://www.washingtonflyfishing.com...ract-Mini-Mag-Breakdown-Oars-How-is-the-joint
